Location: Pewaukee, Wisconsin | I am using 24 and that has been enough. I have fished all night in 4 footers on Millie Lac's and still had power left when we stopped fishing. Quality batterys go a long way. 36 would keep you going for a weekend.
The quietness of this motor when it's used at higher speeds is unbelievabe. I have never ran my battery's down to where it's not holding my boat yet. Boat control is huge and this motor makes it easy. Add the 18ft extention to the foot pedel and you can run the trolling motor from anywhere in the boat. The long shaft is the one I picked up for my rig. It's long but you will be happy if your fishing big water, the prop will stay in the water. When you get into shallow water just adjust it up with the shaft adjustment locking device. |
